The wife of an Etowah County sheriff's deputy is charged with arson and three counts of attempted murder after authorities say she set fire to her home with her husband and two children inside.

Danielle Joslyn Raley, 26, of East Gadsden, was booked into the Etowah County Detention Center on Monday, after confessing to setting the fire. Her bond is set at $200,000.

Investigators said the Jan. 31 blaze at the family's home on Croft Ferry Road began when Raley lit a set of curtains with a match.

Raley's husband realized something was burning and quickly extinguished the fire, said Etowah County sheriff's spokeswoman Natalie Barton. The damage to the home was minimal.

"We believe that she was intending to kill the family," Barton said. "The doors were locked and the fire was set. It's pretty straightforward."

Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin said in a statement that the case will be prosecuted to fullest extent.

"It is sad that a mother would put her husband and children in danger, no matter the circumstance," Entrekin said. "We have seen the outcome of cases in the past where it has resulted in death, no matter who the suspect is related to or associated with. We look forward to justice being carried out in this case."
